Beautiful Minds Gala Dinner

NAMI WEST CENTRAL INDIANA'S CELEBRATION OFTHE ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES OF VISUAL ARTISTS LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS

Throughout history, many famous artists, musicians, writers, politicians, athletes and other public figures have struggled with mental illness. Despite their challenges, they have shaped our culture in essential ways. On February 22nd, 2018 the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) will be holding a fundraising gala at the Purdue North Ballroom with the theme “Beautiful Minds.” Our first gala will be celebrating the accomplishments of painters and sculptors, who live and lived with mental illness. Costumed actors portraying these artists will intermingle with our guests, telling “their” stories of challenges and triumphs. For the dinner portion of the event, guests will purchase a place at a specific “famous person’s” table. Will you join us and meet Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O’Keefe, or Jackson Pollock? Will you help us celebrate accomplishments as well as help overcome challenges?
